The colour Terracotta is everywhere at the moment, along with dusty pinks and deep reds. In fact, these colours are all over Pinterest and they are warm, cosy and so pretty. Dulux, the paint brand, just released their colour forecast for 2018 and Terracotta is right in there. Here are some interior inspiration pictures. All photos from Pinterest and/or Dulux.

I’m thrilled to be doing a sponsored post for the Instant Scratch-Its Christmas Ticket Range in Australia.

They’ve come up with some fantastic ideas to make Christmas gift wrapping and gift giving easy.

It’s a strange coincidence because, this time last year, this was exactly what I gave my dad in his Christmas card!

My personal favourites are the Gift Card Scratch-Its which are pictured below. What a perfect idea to attach one of these as your gift tag. I also love the Advent Scratch-It, pictured above - how fun to scratch one each day during December and make the fun last!

The Instant Scratch-It Range starts from $1 for the Christmas Cheer ticket that doubles as a gift tag, to the $5 Christmas Gift that fits perfectly into a Christmas Card size. I think it would make a perfect gift for an end of year Teacher’s gift too.

I've just returned from 3 weeks in Brazil and let me tell you, I'm feeling very vanilla after the beautiful vibrancy, colour, culture and diversity of the North East. We spent 3 weeks based in Recife, which is the capital of the northeastern state of Pernambuco.

From here we visited the UNESCO listed city of Olinda and the beautiful beaches Praia dos Carneiros and Porto de Galinhas.

Here's some of my beautiful memories of, in my opinion, one of the world's loveliest regions: Nordeste do Brasil.
